McLaren Team Principal Andrea Stella expects Ferrari to be a serious threat in Barcelona despite the Italian squad continuing to downplay its chances.
The McLaren Team Principal, Andrea Stella, believes Ferrari will pose a significant threat in Barcelona, despite Ferrari downplaying their chances. Charles Leclerc finished second in Monaco, but he was pessimistic about the team’s performance on the street circuit before the race weekend. Leclerc narrowly missed pole position in Monaco, where the SF-25 struggled in low-speed corners. While Leclerc remains cautious about Ferrari’s consistency, Stella anticipates a strong showing in Spain, especially in the medium-speed corners like in Barcelona. Stella also foresees strong performances from Red Bull in tracks similar to Silverstone, like Saudi and Imola, and believes McLaren could excel in low-speed circuits such as Canada.
